Uighur

Introduction

The Uighur (or Uyghur) language is used in parts of China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and a large number of other countries. It is primarily written using a form of Arabic script, although the Cyrillic alphabet is used in parts of the former Soviet Union.

Several letters specific to Uighur were added to the Persian script, which itself is an adaptation of Arabic script.

Arabic script is written from right-to-left.

Since Arabic script is cursive, the appearance of a letter changes depending on its context/position: isolated, initial (joined on the left), medial (joined on both sides), and final (joined on the right). Arabic codepoints in the U+0600 - U+06FF range represent all of the letters without regard to their position. It is up to the font to show the letter with the proper appearance. For compatibility with existing standards, Unicode also defined codepoints with explicit positions for most letters (ARABIC PRESENTATION FORMS-A & -B), although use of these characters is discouraged. Likewise, explicit ligatures are also encoded in the PRESENTATION blocks.
